Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has announced the launch of the Victoria Beckham Optical collection that will be available for the Spring 2013 season.

Victoria Beckham, who is herself short-sighted, said she was inspired to create her own line, as she personally finds it difficult to find frames which suit her.

Victoria collaborated with Cutler & Gross on the line, which will include six pieces, each coming in three different color ways.

Made in Italy, the frames are handcrafted and feature a diamond faceted “V” on the tips. The glasses vary in style, from more delicate aviators to heavier acetate, rectangular shapes that have a more unisex appeal.

The Victoria Beckham eyewear collection was launched two years ago, housing a number of sunglass styles sold at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Harrods. The new optical line will retail for about $410 a pair, available January 2013.
